Wow, supernice again!

It was mainly good, slight sign of detonation from when fuel pressure dropped but everything was ok to use again, I have got the bearings coated this time as it works so well in other car so will be interesting to see how they work, and a different dry sump pump which gives more clearance to pulley so i was able to go up a bit in pulley size and get fan ratio better but nothing else changed.

Right now no idea as everything is so unpredictable so will most likely do nothing race wise this year now

Did you ever find a definitive answer of what caused the issue?

No, can't be 100% sure, but most likely is a injector o ring failure as log showed a pressure drop but then it was stable at the lower pressure

Nice.
Autometer(?) and 2 stage or is there a 3rd 'inside' the normal oil pump bit?
